About

Chris Mosier is the first transgender athlete to compete for Team USA, first transgender man to represent the United States in international competition, and first transgender athlete to qualify for the Olympic Trials in any sport in a category different than their sex assigned at birth. He’s been hailed by the BBC as “the man who changed the Olympics,” credited for the International Olympic Committee’s policy change for transgender athletes. 

In light of the recent tragedy at Club Q in Colorado Springs, we felt that this was an appropriate time to reshare this episode, which was initially released in February, 2021.
